Equipment

1 Soup Pot
1 chopping board
1 glass bowl
1 hand blender

Ingredients

1 pc celeriac celery root
1 pc spring onion large, or two medium size
½ bunch parsley fresh
1 cloves garlic fresh
½ pc lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon sunflower oil or olive oil
2 teaspoon sea salt kosher
½ teaspoon ground pepper freshly ground
2 tablespoon mayonnaise good quality

Instructions

Using a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, carefully remove the outer skin. Once peeled, cut the white flesh of the celeriac into evenly sized cubes, roughly one inch in size.
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add your cubed celeriac and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Boil for about 15 minutes, or until the celeriac is soft.
Pour the contents of the pot into a strainer to drain all the water. Let the cubes sit for a few minutes to cool slightly.
Finely chop your spring onions, a single garlic clove, and the fresh parsley.
Transfer the cooled celeriac cubes into a hand blender container. Add the tablespoon of sunflower oil, then blend until you have a smooth, mashed consistency.
Add your chopped garlic and spring onion to the mix and continue blending until everything is well combined and the mixture is a fine cream.
Transfer the celeriac mixture into a medium-sized bowl. Add the half a lemon's juice, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, the ground pepper, and the 2 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Mix everything together.
Add your freshly chopped parsley to the bowl. Gently fold it into the dip until it's evenly distributed.
Your delicious homemade celeriac dip is now ready to serve!

Notes

Be sure to boil the celeriac just until it is fork-tender. Overcooking it can make the vegetable waterlogged, which will result in a watery dip.

The amount of salt, pepper, and lemon juice can be adjusted to your personal taste. We recommend starting with the specified amounts, then tasting the dip and adding more seasoning as needed.

This recipe relies on the flavor of fresh parsley, garlic, and spring onion. For the best result, avoid using dried or pre-chopped versions.

To Make it Vegan: Simply use a plant-based mayonnaise or a vegan yogurt to make this recipe completely vegan-friendly without sacrificing any of the creamy texture.
